POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 219
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the max-
imum level. This operation must be carried out with the
vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check that
the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the dipstick at-
tached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on the 20 °C
side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the spec-
ified level, top up using only one of the products indicat-
ed in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the “Technical
specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒
Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure there are no
leaks.
Do not press the power steering end of trav-
el lock for longer than 8 consecutive sec-
onds with the engine running because it will
cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒
With the engine running, turn the steering wheel from
right to left fully, several times.
❒
Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from com-
ing into contact with hot engine parts:
the liquid is flammable.
